It questions some of the current tenets about the meaning and significance of the concept "culture” for a theory of mathematics education. More generally, it also argues against the cooping up of scientific problems by dividing the mathematics education community into small circles of experts which behave like a peculiar breed of mutual benefit societies, without giving due attention to the needs of scientific democracy and the simple pursuit of truth. Ultimately, it calls for an open scientific debate, unfettered by moral and ideological prejudices and, whenever necessary, disrespectful of fashionable notions. In this essay, all these points are tackled in close relation to a thorough — and unusually long — review of the book.
